The industrial revolution had a great impact on the development of the city of Eindhoven. Many of the industries of the 19th and 20th centuries have now disappeared or changed. The buildings in which our parents and ancestors worked, are now increasingly protected from demolition by giving them a new purpose.
This book presents many examples of the redevelopment of industrial heritage but also portrays residential neighbourhoods, parks, sculptures and other elements in Eindhoven that arose from the flourishing businesses that enriched the city.
